Everything I've done so far as been in a loaf, but I've got some silicone molds arriving (hopefully tomorrow!) and I'm wondering if there is anything I need to do differently to help them mold well and keep the detail.
I've soaped around 125F and poured at medium trace so far, except for one time that an FO accelerated on me and I had to glop the mold full. My loaf mold is wood and wrapping in towels has enabled gel each time. But with the silicone, it seems logical that the molds might prefer being poured at a lighter trace to fill detail and avoid bubbles, right? And I'm assuming I'll need to oven-process if I want them to gel? Anything else I should be aware of?
